Who is Right and Who is Wrong?

September 10, 2009

I missed some drama while I was in class last night. The President addressed Congress and dispelled some wild rumors:

"There are also those who claim that our reform effort will insure illegal immigrants. This, too, is false - the reforms I'm proposing would not apply to those who are here illegally," President Obama said.

Upon hearing this, a loud voice from the Republican side of the hall answered, "You lie!". Turns out it was Rep. Joe Wilson (R - S.C.) Everyone is buzzing about it this morning, calling for Wilson to be censured and demanding an apology (which Wilson has since given). I don't have a problem with someone calling out the President or anyone else. I do have a problem with people irresponsibly trying to incite an uproar based on a lie.

So, my question is: if Joe Wilson really believes the President is lying, where is the proof? Offer some evidence or keep your trap shut.
